Abstract
- Polyethylene glycol solutions have been usually available for clinical use since 1980 and been considered a standard method of bowel preparations for colonoscopy. There have been many reports about minor complications such as nausea and bloating associated with their use, which are frequently occurred. After ingestion of polyethylene glycol, vomiting occurrs less frequently but it can make major complication such as Mallory-Weiss syndrome and aspiration pneumonia. We have reported here two cases of Mallory-Weiss syndrome, which were occurred after ingestion of polyethylene glycol solution for colonoscopy.
